Distributed Hartstone: a distributed real-time benchmark suite
Clifford W. Mercer, Yutaka Ishikawa, Hideyuki Tokuda · 2002
An extension of the uniprocessor Hartstone benchmark for the distributed real-time environment, called the Distributed Hartstone benchmark, is described. The Distributed Hartstone measures system performance in the critical areas of communication latency and bandwidth, protocol preemptability, and priority queueing at the protocol and media access levels. Areas of the system which are particularly important for distributed, real-time computing are described. On the basis of the requirements that specify various areas of the system that a distributed real-time benchmark must stress, a series of task sets in the style of the Hartstone benchmarks are given. The benchmark results from a distributed real-time operating system (ARTS testbed) are given.>
